Advanced Search “icon”

    I have just updated to 6.4 and noticed a change to the Advanced Search link.

    The link used to read “Advanced Search”, which is clearly understandable as to what it does.

    Now there is an icon that means absolutely nothing (and has a hover Title that is very imprecise and difficult to activate: I can position my mouse in various places and the title does not display – not that anyone would bother because there is no intuitive rationale for what the icon is or does).

    There is a line under the SVG declaration within the <a> container that reads:

    <span class="wpbdp-sr-only">Advanced Search</span>

    How do I get rid of the icon and get the words (and link) to display underneath the Find Listings button as it did before?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @zimbo000

    Thank you for posting your feedback here on the new Advanced Search modal that’s included in Business Directory Plugin. Your feedback on this has been documented and we will work on improving the new Advanced Search button in our upcoming releases.

    For now, there is not a setting to revert back to the old style, unfortunately. The image could be replaced if you wanted to override the template.

    I was able to see the “Advanced Search” wording on your site when I hovered over the icon, but I do understand that with your theme, it could be more clear what is does, what it’s for, and more visible. We appreciate your patience as we work on improving things for the future!

    @bobbied – that is disappointing, may I suggest your development team prioritizes a fix for this because no-one is going to find or use Advanced Search with that icon as it is, and/or no explanatory text.

    I’ve had a look at the PHP code and can’t figure out a quick way to hack it to display an alternative image or some text, so I’ll just have to wait for you to do something.

    I’ve used this hack to add the wording in the additional CSS:

    .wpbdp-main-box .wpbdp-advanced-search-link::after {
    content: ” Advanced Search”
    }

    @azure11 – Many thanks but I cannot get that to work; I’ve got custom CSS in wpbdp.css that works, so it must be something related to my theme as to why it’s not working. Hopefully the devs will effect a fix soon.
